Exhaust stack

Brian60950 · Feb 18, 2014

Has anyone ever put a vertical exhaust stack on a 2N?

I want to put a 90 on the end of the tail pipe & run it up above my head so I don't have to breathe the exhaust when the wind is blowing. The stack would have to be in the rear as not to interfere with the loader. And it would also need routed in a way that won't interfere with the 3 point hitch either.

Will this create too much back-pressure?

The tractor is kept indoors & would have to clear a 7 foot roll-up door though.

I think it would be more effective to discharge it
to the rear of the tire toward the ground..i have a
stack on one of my 8s and i get more exhaust fumes
than on any of the other ns..the exhaust on the
4000 backhoe goes straight out from the front of
the motor and i have never experienced any fumes
from it. phil

Don"t forget, if going up at the rear, the pipe will be HOT! Would be too easy for you or someone to grab, ONCE.

Here is a picture taken at Halloween. It is my 1946 2N (and my grandchildren). Even as short as the exhaust is, I've never felt a problem with exhaust fumes in my face. It would be easy to extend it higher, however, remember low hanging branches or other objects.

Are you sure that the fumes you're experiencing aren't due to a poor fit at the pipe and manifold flange? A small leak there can make for a stinky ride.

In my experience, unless you're hooking up an implement, the rear exhaust on the N causes the least amount of fumes for the operator.

Mine was forever blowing back little pieces of hot rust in my face.
I don't think a 90 there would have helped.
A horizontal & a 90 or 45 extension to divert the fumes when hooking up an implement works fine.

Can you post a picture?
I have a vertical stack on my Jubilee with a loader because the
underneath exhaust won't fit. The loader interferes with the path.
Granted, they are different tractors.

There are pros and cons to each exhaust system, but usually
there are less fumes for the driver with the rear exit exhaust,
except when hooking up an implement.

I have not put a vertical stack aft of the driver.
I would think the added weight may cause problems with hangers
and possibly even the seal to the manifold.

My 9N had a stack on it when I got it. Was a PITA, exhaust in the face all the time and had to watch carefully when driving in the woods that it didn't get snagged. Mine looped down under the carb toward the front and up and was attached to the hood with a muffler clamp and two holes in the hood. Was in the way for doing any carb and linkage work and the bottom of the carb would get warmer than it should. When it rusted out I went to the stock rear exhaust (which just now needs replaced).

a stack won't create too much back pressure, unless it fills with water.

here's a pic of my 8n with a stack, and 703 loader.
